I was a sailor too, but I can't recommend you any book about astronomy, sorry. Take Mahabharata with you, Iliad and Odyssey, Divine Comedy, Moby Dick, Anna Karenina, Don Quixote, Selection of Shakespeare's works, Proust's In Search of Lost Time and Ulysses with commentaries for good measure. That should last you for a long time. Take KJ Bible as well, and Montaigne. Plato's works too. Have a good voyage my friend

in fact im a captain if you must know. i work 20 hour shifts lifting and pulling things with little time for sleep or rest. i can very likely benchpress you, assuming you arent an obese tub of lard. which is no garuntee here. i will appreciate it if you hold your tongue young man. gentlemen.
